Dupuytren Award 2017

From the International Dupuytren Society about the 2017 Dupuytren Award: We received many and very good applications making it a difficult decision for our Scientific Advisory Board to select a winner. This is excellent news for Dupuytren’s research and we are looking forward to more papers about this challenging and multifaceted subject!
This year two categories are awarded, “Basic Research” and “Clinical Research”. The winners of the International Dupuytren Award 2017 http://www.dupuytren-online.info/dupuytren_award.html are
Basic Research:
· Sabrina Koh et al. "Embryonic Stem Cell–like Population in Dupuytren’s Disease" Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open 4 (2016): e1064

Clinical Research (two papers received exactly the same number of votes and both receive the award):
· Jeremy Rodrigues et al. "Functional outcome and complications following surgery for Dupuytren’s disease: a multi-centre cross-sectional study" J Hand Surg Eur (2016). pii: 1753193416660045
· Joakim Strömberg et al. "Comparison of Treatment Outcome After Collagenase and Needle Fasciotomy for Dupuytren Contracture: A Randomized, Single-Blinded, Clinical Trial With a 1-Year Follow-Up." J Hand Surg Am. 2016 Sep;41(9):873-80.
Congratulations to the three winners for their excellent papers! And thank you very much to all of you for your great contributions to researching Dupuytren disease! We are looking forward to new papers and new insights in 2017. There is still a world to explore, in cell research, in pathogenesis, in improving and comparing therapies, and in finding new therapies, and ultimately even a cure for this disease!
The International Dupuytren Society would like to thank all members of its Advisory Board for working through the applications and carefully choosing the winners.
